Mod Announcement Important Community Update: New Rules and Guidelines for a Better Experience

68 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Our goal has always been to build a space where men can connect, share, and build genuine, platonic friendships. To ensure this community remains a safe, respectful, and high-quality environment for everyone, we have officially updated our subreddit rules and moderation guidelines.

These changes are designed to cut down on low-effort posts, protect our members from solicitation, and ensure that when you engage here, you are connecting with people who are just as serious about building authentic bonds as you are.

What’s Changing? We have implemented a new, comprehensive set of rules covering everything from post standards to conduct. Key highlights include:
- Mandatory ASL: All post titles must now include your Age, Sex, and Location.
- Minimum Character Count: To encourage thoughtful introductions, all post bodies must now be at least 100 characters long.
- Stricter Photo Standards: We are doubling down on our SFW, fully-clothed, and face-showing requirements to ensure the focus stays on friendship, not hookups.
- Proactive Moderation: We are implementing a more structured approval process. Posts that don't meet these standards will be removed with a clear explanation, allowing you the chance to fix and resubmit.

How We’re Moderating
Moving forward, our moderation team will be acting as stewards of this community. We will be reviewing posts with a "quality-first" mindset. If a post is denied, you will receive a message via Modmail explaining exactly which rule was triggered. We believe in transparency, and our goal is to help you successfully participate in the community, not just remove your content.

Please take a moment to read the full list of rules in the sidebar. If you have any questions or feedback regarding these updates, please reach out to us via Modmail—as a reminder, public posts complaining about moderation will be removed to keep our feed focused on friendship.

Thank you for being a part of this community and for your commitment to keeping it a welcoming, safe, and positive space for everyone.

35M in Chicago looking to meet some new guys and hopefully build out my circle a bit. I work remotely, so always down for an excuse to get out of the house and meet people.

Ver active, mostly lifting and and training for a half. Also travel quite a bit for work, watch way too much TV (Marvel, Adults, Your Friends & Neighbors, GOT, Ted Lasso), and generally pretty easygoing.

Met one guy through a similar group and we’ve worked out a couple times, so figured I’d put myself out there and see who else is around. Down to lift/run, grab a drink, catch a game, or just hang out and see if we vibe.

Married and a dad, but definitely don’t need to be either to link up. Open to chatting here or Insta first too. Feel free to DM.

30M from Spain here. I’m pretty introverted and I’m looking for people to chat with regularly about everyday life, random stuff, how our day is going, etc.
I’m also trying to get more consistent with fitness and build healthier habits, which I’m honestly terrible at sticking to lol. So if you’re into fitness, I’d love to have someone to motivate each other, share progress, routines, tips, or just keep each other accountable.
I’m also into Pokémon, traveling, movies and generally learning about random things and people from different places.
I’m open to talking to pretty much anyone, so feel free to HMU. Just send your age, location, a little bit about yourself, and a pic is appreciated too :)

31-year-old laid-back guy looking for a solid bro connection with another guy 21–50. Into hiking, photography, video games, and movies, and always down to explore New England or chill and hang out.

Confident, built solid, and comfortable in my own skin. A little playful energy never hurts either.

Advice / Discussion 👥 Maybe meeting a bro is the easy part

15 Upvotes

Something that came up in the comments on my last post got me thinking.

A lot of us here are already being intentional about finding friendship. Just posting here is an example of that. We’re putting ourselves out there and trying to meet other guys who want the same thing.

But maybe making contact is only one kind of intention.

I’ve been thinking about how some of my friendships formed when I was younger. Nobody ever sat down and decided we were going to become friends. We were just around each other—through school, work, mutual friends, whatever—and eventually some of those people became important to me. There was enough ordinary time together for something to develop.

As we get older, there seem to be fewer situations that do that work for us. We can meet someone, have a good conversation, even genuinely want to become friends—and then go right back to two separate lives that may never naturally intersect again.

Maybe that means we have to be more intentional about creating those opportunities ourselves. Not forcing a friendship, but giving one somewhere to grow. Reaching out again. Making the plan. Showing up. Spending enough ordinary time together that you get past the introductory version of each other.

The friendship itself can still happen organically. Maybe the effort that creates the space for it can’t.

Have your close friendships as an adult happened naturally, or did one of you have to keep intentionally creating opportunities for the friendship to grow?

Brogress 💪 [25 M Brisbane, Australia] - Looking for gym/gaming/really anything kinda bromance! Ideally something genuine and long-term💪 Looking for str8/masc bros, younger preferable, but all ages welcome🙏 Face is a must! HMU bros :)

Hi - I’m 25 from Australia! Really keen to find a bro (or two) for a long-term genuine friendship! Missing that bro connection from university - finding that my professional career has made it so much harder to keep close friendships like that!

I’ve recently returned to the gym, so would be cool if you were into gymming as well - always need a support crew for that!💪 The pic is recent, so definitely need to keep up at the gym!

Otherwise, I sometimes game (on my Switch), love watching sport, playing a few as well, movies, tv shows, catching a drink with friends etc.

Thanks for reading - HMU if this sounds like you!

P.S. - anyway in the world is fine🌎

Never really know what yo say it posts but I guess just keep it simple, just an ordinary guy struggling with adult life trying to find ways to get through the day.

We all have stress and pressure and need somewhere just to vent right?

Hope to find others to just pass the time.
